It seems that technology and anything electrical is out to get me...the Christmas Tree lights kicked it all off...now you would think that hubby might have tested them before draping them around the tree...apparently not and yes you've guessed switch on was a bit of a damp squib...not even one little teeny weeny flicker of light let alone the huge sparkly glow I was expecting. And guess who had to dash to the shops to get another set...remove the first and redrape the replacements (and yes I did test them) before hanging the decs...
and this year's addition to the bauble collection...a pressie from the grandkiddies from their trip to Disneyland Florida...
I did tell you that the baubles on my tree are a real mixture collected over the years...this one from the store at the Statue of Liberty...rather huge and a bit over the top but hey who cares...it brings back wonderful memories of fabulous trips to NYC...
I have a sneaky feeling the printer may be on it's last legs...likely to be heading to the nearest skip and the old "hissy fit" computer may well be joining it if it doesn't pull it's socks up...in the meantime there is some GOOD news...the Christmas Cakes are baked and I'm thinking perhaps I should cut myself a slice...just a test you understand in case the Christmas Gremlins have been playing havoc with the oven.
I'll see you all tomorrow to share some hoop-de-doo exciting news

ReplyDeleteHi Kath, what a beautiful tree. Ours will be going up this weekend and we too have some lovely baubles and other hanging decorations which have been purchased from many different countries and always bring back happy memories - that's my favourite bit of Christmas. Enjoy your day, and not too big a slice of cake!! Hugs, Julie xxx
ReplyDeleteYour tree is looking great (despite the trials to get it looking just SO) and I love that you have the baubles from family and travels - to give your tree a story.

ReplyDeleteHi Kath,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog recently and have scrolled through. Love your cards and sense of humor. Your tree is so pretty and I think ornaments that have a history in the family are wonderful. Also love your energy. It makes me feel tired! Great blog and I will pop back in again.
Hi Kath, your tree looks great, I love the traditional colours, mine are still in the loft maybe put them on Sunday. We've had pro blems with our landline this week, so used to everything working perfect. Have a good weekend, hope the gales aren't too bad...Trish
ReplyDeleteI made one Christmas cake in October (only two of us so don't need a lot) DH couldn't wait for Christmas- In November I made another Chritsmas cake and that has gone - last monday I made two more- DH says he doesn't fancy anymore cake.
ReplyDeleteDon't cut into the cake - it will be your undoing lol.
